Fall's arrival has left me reminiscing about 2011's best music, and the ghostly R&B echoes of Holy Other's zoned in EP, With U, come quickly to my mind. In this YouTube video of his live performance at this year's Rewire Festival in Den Haag, standout track "Touch" is accompanied by light work that highlights the staccato clips of percussion with bright, sudden strobes. The economic set-up allows for the negative spaces to pop out between his mayor-of-the-graveyard podium presence and the subtle shades of blue on the screen behind it, letting the darkness take the driver's seat. --Matt Sullivan, Altered Zones
